"If you have an apple
and I have an apple and
we exchange these
apples then you and I
will still each have one
apple. But if you have
an idea and I have an
idea and we exchange
these ideas, then each
of us will have two
ideas."
George Bernard Shaw

Data Interpretation?

Take Ownership of Your Data

Teachers are Learners!
Be willing to listen and learn from everyone–any age!

Change in Education is Continual

The Human Element

1. Professional Development should be ongoing with
instruction and technology.
2. Teachers must have strong beliefs in formative assessment.
3. Communication lines must be open and responsive.
4. Teachers must see purpose in technology based formative
assessment.
5. PLCs must share common beliefs & believe in student
engagement.
6. PLCs must believe that formative assessment in instruction
and the technology that assists and expedites the process is
connected to school improvement and student achievement.
What You Said 2012-2013…

PLCs – Professional Learning Communities
 PLCs are teachers and administrators that “seek and
share learning, and act on their learning” (Hord, 1997,
p. 10)
 PLCs are associated with workplace educational
organizations arranged by subject or grade level by the
educational hierarch of educators

CoPs – Communities of Practice
 Often teachers in PLCs turn to communities of practice
(CoPs) to develop their own identities and roles to meet
the educational organization’s goals.
 CoPs do not operate on agendas or set meetings, they
“share their experiences and knowledge in free-flowing
creative ways that foster new approaches to problems”
(Wenger & Snyder, 2000) and may meet face-to-face or
online.

PLC’s and CoP’s goals are to embrace the spirit of
collaboration and enhance their effectiveness as
professionals for the benefit of students.

1) External factors outside of the
teachers’ control – hardware,
software, etc.
(Ertmer, 1999; Ertmer, Ottenbreit-Leftwich, Sadik, Sendurur, & Sendurur, 2012; Kim,
Kim, Lee, Spector, & DeMeester, 2013)
Two types of barriers affect technology
utilization in the classroom:
2) Internal factors – teacher beliefs
and their perceptions.

What are your beliefs and perceptions on the
use of technology in your teaching and
assessment FOR learning?
1. I believe students should be assessed more subjectively
with portfolios and other subjective methods.
2. I believe that you can’t adequately assess students in some subjects.
3. My course is not assessed at this grade level or subject area.
4. I don’t have the time to learn the technology.
5. I don’t have the support that I need to learn the technology.
6. I can’t work with her/him. We can’t work together.
7. Data doesn’t show everything that my students need to know.
8. There’s too much technology to learn with so many options.
